The Good Samaritan.
Or Secret Life the True Measure
Of Character.
REV. A. j. IIoUGH.

Seene-The lonely road Of eighteen miles betwee
Jerusalem and Jericho.
Aetors-Four Robbers. Jew, Priest, Levite, S
marian
Just what we do unbiased, free,
just what we are where none can see
On lonely paths we travel DER,
Just that we are, and nothing more.
Our public acts the world may sean,
The secret life reveals the MAN.
Here, far away from mans abode,
Upon this lonely mountain road,
Between two noble cities laid,
Men, as they are, will be displayed.
Above--.Jerusalem below
The walls of ancient Jericho,
With eighteen miles of road between
The widest, lOnelieSt, ever seen,
AS If TIE sea ut some GOd-wOrd
Had turned to stone and never stirrd.
-Four men, well dressed, are passing now;
They raise their hats, full low they bow.
Their forms such finished grace display,
Sons Of some noble house are they.
Now far up on the rocky height
A lonely traveller comes in sight.
Slowly he threads his winding way,
His form is bent. his beard is grey.
The locks that DER his shoulders flow
Are white as lIermOn's driven snow
Nearer he draws! A noble face!
Some patriarch of that favored race
Which gave the Christ: wealthy jew:
And on he passes from our view.
Hush! there's a cry! a wall! a shrek!
The strong are striking down the weak.
And there the victim from the rocks
Is struggling, sinking meath the shocks
OF brutal blows: he falls at last;
And 10! the well dressed men that passed
Have robbed the jew in open day
And left him bleeding by the way.
A man may wear a fine black coat,
Salute you well, then cut your throat
The biggest rascals in the land
Will move with manners the most bland,
And piOus stories glibly tell;
They look like heaven and act like-well,
A lonely place, no, eyes about.
Will find that sort Of people out.
Jerusalem and Jericho
The public life may read and know.
But on the lonely roads between
The measure of the soul is seen.
Here comes a Priest, man of God.
With sympathieS both deep and broad,
A love that knows nor race nor creed.
Call to him, Jew! He will give heed.
The means which tell of thy distress,
The open wounds, thy nakedness,
Will move the man who loves to pray
Call to him jew. across the way.
Call louder. Holy themes and high
Engage his thoughts. He's passing by!
Saw you the look of high disdain
That answered to the cry of pain

The MausOlcum at FrogmOre.

The mausoleum at Frogmore is built on
very low ground, and suffers much from
damp. The magnificent internal dccora-
tons would have long ago been spoiled if
large fires were not constantly kept burn
ing. The queen obtained the original idea
for this structure from the Greek chapel
on the Neroberg, below Wiesbaden, in
which the first wife Of the present Duke
of Nassau is buried. She was the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth Michaelovna of Rus
STA, and died in 1874, in her 10Th year,
eleven months after her marriage. Her
monument is a splendid piece of sculpture,
and, as ut Frogmore, there is u recum-
bent figure on the s~arcophagus. This is
the most sumptuous tomb in Germany.
The queen caused a crypt to be formed
under the mausoleum, desiring that all
her children should be buried in it, and
there are nine inches; but Princess Alice
lies in the liosenhohe chapel near Darn
stadt, and the Duke Of Albany left writ
ten directions that he was to be buried in
the royal vault at Windsor New York

The Railway Age says that the indi-
cations Of extensive railway construc-
ton during the present year which
were given a month ago have been fully
justified since that time, and the work
of grading and track-laying is now going
or in several portions Of the United
States at a more rapid rate than ever
before in the history Of the country
From returns received up to the end of
last month it is found that the new
track, main line, laid in the United
from January | to June l, 1887, a period
of five months, aggregates no less thar
1851 miles on lightweight roads in
thirty-three states and territories. This
is an addition of 1877 miles since last
months report, and gives a total which
has never before been equalled at this
eason of the year, with the exception
of last year of extraordinary railway
building, 1882, when the mileage con-
structed in this country reached the
great total of IL ,56S miles.

John ID. Jennings, the man who man,

John ID. Jennings, the man who many
years ago introduced the ninety-nine
year lease system in Chicago, is said to
be the richest man in the city. He is
60 years old, and for forty years has
devoted his attention to sucuring good
corner lots in that city, and giving leases
upon them, receiving as a rental
the current rate of interest upon the
valuation, go per cent in advance of
its cost and binding the lessee to erect
a building. Jennings is a very unpre-
tending person, making no show of his
vast wealth beyoud the display of a
$4,000 diamond which decks his shirt
front day and night. These Z per cent
ninety-nine year leases on scores of
valuable properties can all be turned
into ready cash OF a four per cent basis
Of revenue, which would bring the old
gentleman two dollars for every dollar
invested. There are fine opportunities
for Pap Jennings in this city if he only
knew it. A number Of valuable corners
upon which no stone has yet been
turned, may be easily secured for q
consideration. Come to Custer, Pap,
where a new field Of speculative
ventures is just opening up, where the
true western spirit of enterprise would
possess your Anticipated bosom with re-
newed vigor, and where the possession
Of a hundred lots in a town whose future
prosperity is based upon a tin forma-
ton, gold mounted and silver lined,
would turn you back to your teens, and
fill your tired soul with a degree of high
grade rapture that would surprise a
Chicago man. What's the matter with
trying it anyhow? You will require no
references, but it might be advisable to
hang out your diamond, as it would
serve to aid you in picking up desirable
acquaintance, which, without it, you
might find it difficult to reach, more
especially in the higher tin circles,
which are more difficult to approach
than the less stable millionaire of
Chicago, who is rich to day and poor
next week.

The Engineering and Mining Journal,
noticing the appearance OF the Dakota
lin mines in London, where the Har-
ney Peak Tin Mining company has
been organized with IA capital stock of
Sl0,000,00 is inclined to disparage the
Dakota tin prospects and class them
among chimeras. The tin find in Da-
kota is, nevertheless, very substantial
in character, and capital only is needed
to demonstrate the profitable nature OF
the mines.-Pioneer Press.

The boom in real estate in Sioux City
still continues, and it may be reason,
ably inferred from an i,cm appearing in
a late issue Of the Journal that the Level
tracts have all been taken. The item
referred to reads: "A ~survevor while al
work in one of the hilly additions fell
from one end of a $50 foot lot to the
other. and was seriously injured" The
lot evidently stood upon its end.
